@codemachine Yes for sure, it fits in with the tech theme! If you are considering Stanford, they tend to really value the notion of interdisciplinary activities, which was basically what I was alluding to. If you’re into CS, consider combining it with a fine art. As example, you could join your school’s drama club or join a community theater group and try to write a script about the way our world has changed with technology, and try to convince the leaders to act the script in front of an audience. Or, you could develop a new interesting form of art where you program a mechanical arm to randomly paint on a piece of paper, and you’re supposed to paint simultaneously along with the arm to complement it. See? Get as crazy and weird as you can!
